Blah blah blah blah. Ha ha ha he is aware if rigging done by who, ? When? Ha ha ha ha. Lack of rain? Where? Ndokuzopererwa manje uku.
So he is aware of all the non important stuff? Was he aware that the zim dollar was becoming worthless? Was he aware of industries shutting down and people losing jobs? If he was what did he do about it because i dnt c the zim dollar anywhere or jobs that were lost being created. 33 years and that is all he can say…..zim is comedy central ah ah ah

@ Reuben Ndlovu, they are gonna get empowered to form their own companies. Majority are gonna be employers, you should have asked, where would they get employees since most of them would be owners of companies.

Zimbos we are just a bunch of idiots. Hanzi we have the highest literacy rate in Africa, blah blah. Then why do we get hoodwinked and outwitted by an 89yr old? No new ideas can come out of this. We are doomed until we rinse ourselves of these dinosaurs and their band of geriatrics. Nothing. The next 5 yrs will be hell. Mark my words.
Girinya
So uneducated to the extent that you don’t know vegetables are good for your health Mr/Miss Bush? Get a life!!!!!!!!!

People, is there anyone who listened to this audio msge? The old man cant even speak eloquently and consistently anymo. Speaking slowly. How do we expect anything better from this?
Mwanangu
I listened to the audio. The old man in still in his element and with vigor as ever. Made mistakes in the past, yes, but the Mogisto alternative is not quite doable my friend. Time for Bob though to be real and root out non-performers and corrupt elements for his last term otherwise history will judge him harshly
Free at last

Tsvangirai shud just shut up:how can a real politician get nocked by the same tactic:for sure go hang morgan yu are not sharp minded

On Heroes Day we salute our heroes and heroines dead and alive. We salute what they died for- freedom from the white man. Kuti tizvitonge. We respect them. They did not die in vain. Imagine we were not allowed to walk on First Street. To vote, to speak, to education and a whole lot of things. On the freedom to vote, lets be careful lest we vote for the same system that oppressed us and our heroes had to liberate us from- the white man disguised as Tsvangirai. Yes, you do have that freedom to vote but wisely my Zimbabweans, wisely. Many of us do not understand politics. Many thinks its just like church, Im sorry. Always remember dear Zimbabwean ropa remagamba rakadeuka muhondo yerusununguko. Nyangwe zvikadii. Tingadai pasina chatinoziva isu, pasina chatiinacho. I read Tsvangirai speech. It doesnt make sense trying to make a connection where there is none. The guy doesnt care about our Heroes Day. If he saluted then truly he should be behind Mugabe totally, supporting the land and other black empowerment reforms. There are no two ways about it. He wants to reverse that so where is his respect? Mheni ya Chaminuka kakarova shamwari. Rest.
